North Korea has criticized the United States and Israel over their attacks on Iran and said it respects Tehran’s right to select a new supreme leader, CNN reported.
A spokesperson for North Korea’s foreign ministry said on Wednesday that Pyongyang strongly denounces the US-Israeli strikes, accusing them of destroying regional peace and “escalating instability worldwide by mounting an illegal military attack on Iran,” according to North Korea’s state news agency KCNA.
Pyongyang also criticized what it described as outside interference in Iran’s political system, warning that “rhetorical threats and military action” aimed at undermining another country’s government “can never be tolerated.”
North Korea said it respects the decision by Iran’s Assembly of Experts to select a new supreme leader, saying the move reflected “the rights and choice of the Iranian people,” KCNA said.
